After owning the car for about 4 days i got bored of it looking like a jeep, so i threw some lowering springs on it.:

then the major transfrom, went from the d15b7 to the d16z6 built for N/A (yes N/A FOR NOW) has p29 12:1 pistons, eagle rods, acl race bearings, and arp head studs. also got OEM mudflaps from honda and some HX wheels painted white. as well as headliner! and this is how the car currrently sits. in the future will come a full boost build on a separate d16z6.
